Get SharePoint Item’s Author Details using REST

May 5, 2017 / Kannan / 0 Comments

When we fetch document details from the SharePoint, sometimes we may need to get the Author details as well. By default when we do ODATA REST query, we will get only Authorid with a number as a result.

To get Author’s additional details we may need to expand the selected item as show below.

https://server/sites/sitecollection/_api/web/Lists/GetByTitle('Documents')/Items?$select=Author/Title,Author/Name,Author/EMail,Author/MobilePhone,Author/SipAddress,Author/Department,Author/JobTitle,Author/FirstName,Author/LastName,Author/WorkPhone,Author/UserName,Author/Office,Author/ID,Author/Modified,Author/Created,*&$expand=Author

Following list show all the valid Author fields

1. Title
2. Name
3. EMail
4. MobilePhone
5. SipAddress
6. Department
7. JobTitle
8. FirstName
9. LastName
10. WorkPhone
11. UserName
12. Office
13. ID
14. Modified
15. Created
